SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the FBI, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses).
Abstract: Under the Uniform Federal Crime Reporting Act of 1988, 34
U.S.C. 41303; the DOJ's authority regarding the acquisition,
preservation, and exchange of identification records and information,
28 U.S.C. 534; the USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of
2005, Public Law 109-177, 120 Stat. 193; the William Wilberforce
Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, 34 U.S.C.
41309; and the Hate Crimes Statistics Act, 34 U.S.C. 41305, this
collection requests incident data from federal, state, local, tribal,
and territorial law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in order for the FBI's
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to serve as the national
clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of incident data.
The traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS), managed by the FBI's
UCR Program since the 1930s, includes 10 crimes and employs the
Hierarchy Rule (i.e., in a multiple-offense incident, only the most
serious crime is reported). In contrast, NIBRS includes 28 offense
categories made up of 71 specific crimes (i.e., Group A offenses) and
allows LEAs to report up to 10 of those offenses associated with an
incident. For each of these offenses, LEAs collect administrative,
offense, property, victim, offender, and arrestee information. Arrest
data only are reported for an additional 10 Group B offenses. The level
of detail is the most significant difference between NIBRS and SRS and
the NIBRS data submitted to the FBI's UCR Program are generated as a
byproduct of a LEA's records management system.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: National Incident-Based
Reporting System (NIBRS).
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1110-0058.
The applicable component within DOJ is the CJIS Division, FBI.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: Primary: Federal, state, local,
tribal, and territorial LEAs. The obligation to respond is mandatory
for federal agencies and voluntary for non-federal agencies.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: At the end of
2024, the estimated number of LEAs certified to submit crime data to
the FBI's UCR Program via NIBRS totaled 16,788. Each month, it takes
approximately two hours for an average respondent to respond, which is
an annual burden of 24 hours. The two hours is the time required for a
LEA's records management system to download the NIBRS data and send the
information to the FBI.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
the NIBRS data collection for LEAs is 402,912 hours (201,456 responses
x 2 hours per response = 402,912 total annual hours). An additional 300
burden hours for state UCR program and local LEA outreach is requested
by the FBI's UCR Program, leading to an estimated total of 403,212
burden hours for the collection.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable. The estimated monetary cost burden for
supplies, storage, or the like for this information collection is $0.
Incident reports are submitted through an online system maintained by
the FBI.
